prose poems, as well as her sonnets, were
composed "a the solitude of this romantic
canyon. She called it her place of worship,
and here spent each summer those hours of
Sunday which many spend in public wor-
ship. 1t was said by lady whom met,
and who was personally acquainted with
Mrs. Jackson, that she had perfect faith in

grave, through an opening in the rocky wall,
there is an exquisite view of Colorado Springs
and the beautiful mesa beyond, seen like
picture in dark frame. The lovely home
she occupied in life, embowered in trees and
vines, is part of the living picture. Far
away to the north is the blue wall of the

AMBULANCE CAR.

from Paris to Havre twenty-seven nurses
gave their care to eighty-eight pseudo
wounded.
The management of this train has cost the
state 10000 francs, and has reflected great
honor on the two engineers who furnished
the plans. The smallest bit of space has been
utilized; each car contains eight beds ar
ranged in the fashion of the berths at sea.
On the left of each couch is little board or
shelf to hold the cup, glass and other immedi-
ate trihes for giving medicine or drink.
The furniture of the car consists of brush,
broom, coal scuttle and slop pail. They
are ventilated by an ingenious system of
openings at the bottom OF the car or wagon.
In the evening the cars are lighted by four
lanterns The arms and clothing of the sol
dierS are put in wire nets III the space be-
tween the beds A stove of the most manage
able variety will heat the car in winter. A
linen bag at the head of each bed receives the
papers establishing the identity of the sick
or wounded occupant of the bed. On each
bead is hospital cloak, shirt, pair of
trousers and pair of stockings.
The cuisine car contains large stove with
boiler Of hot water, two ovens, kitchen uten-
sis, tables. etc. The cooks are clothed in
white linen trousers and blue linen blouses.
A coffee mill is fastened to the wall, a cup
board contains the bottles and glasses, and
tube running near conveys the water from
an outside reservoir, and drain against the
wall of the car carries away the waste.

even in the dark days of the Credit Mobiliec
investigation, and while he was chairman of
the noted poland committee" newspaper
wits managed to find in him some humorous
relief from the sad details of the evidence.
He was born III Westford Vt, Nov. l, 1915,
was admitted to the practice of law in 1886,
and after filling some minor offices
was made, in 1S4S, one of the judges
of the supreme court of Vermont. Ia
1860 he was made chief justice; in
1865 he was appointed United States senator
to fill out the unexpired term of Hon. jacob
Coliamer and was afterward elected sue
cessively to the Fortieth Forty-irSt Forty
second and Forty-third congresses. Then
came the great upheavals of 1924, and he
was refused denomination, the chief charge
against him being that he had voted for the
increase i'll congressmen's pay, commonly
called the salary grab. After some years re-
tirement he was elected to the Forty-eighth
congress, and at the end of that term retired
permanently to private life. He was sue
cessful in business, and at his death had been
for twenty-five years president of the st.
Johnsbury bank.
Illustrating the judges happy union of
humor and simplicity this anecdote is told:
While he was "stumping" Vermont i'll favor
of prohibition he occasionally had cold milk
served OH the stand for him instead of water,
a practice the wags took advantage of by
filling the pitcher with a strong article of
milk punch He was in the midst of an
eloquent speech when he paused to quench
his thirst. Filling the large glass to the
brim he drained it before discovering the
tric' Then, turning a twinkling eye to the
corn,4 where sat those he suspected, he ex.
claimed with deep emphasis, aye gods, what
a cow"
A much more humliating trick was played
on him many years ago by Sam Ward, the
noted lobbyist. Knowing that Judge Poland
would vote against claim in which he was
interested, and desiring to keep him away
from the house at the time, Ward hired a
variety actor to "make up" as an old Ver-
mont farmer, go before the committee ON
elections and charge the judge with bribery.
The latter was terribly enraged and threat
ened the slanderer, who coolly proposed a
duel next morning at the foot of the Wash
ington monument. But when the Judge and
his second reached the spot in the early morn
ing they found what seemed to be the body
of the old farmer hanging to beam project
ing from the. summit then $50 feet high and
a letter below in which the slanderer con-
fessed that his charges were false, made while
he was drunk, and that on becoming sober he
was so overcome with remorse that he had
determined suicide. The coroner was
hastily summoned and the denouement may
be imagined. 1t was enough for Ward that
the bill allowing this claim passed the house
while Judge Poland was vindicating his
character. Of course the exact truth of this
story is not vouched for; but that it should
be told and believed shows the current opin-
ion as to the judges guilelessness.

doubled that figure. Mr.. CobL rose steadily,
until his remuneration for every yarn was
high UP into the thousands He did not ask
these prices, but Mr. Bonner, finding his
stories popular, voluntarily paid it, and Ell
gagged him to write exclusively for The Ledger.
"The Gunmaker of Moscow" was one of
Mr. Cobb's most successful stories. 1t has
been republished again and again by Mr..
Bonner's Ledger, and is as good reading today
as it ever was, and it always was capital
story. He has spent the larger part of a
tolerably long life in writing for the one
paper. A list of his serials would be an ex-
tended one, and he wrote short sketches of
adventure over pen name-stories that
bristled with unappeasable lions and tigers
and wriggled with the most voracious and
pugnacious of snakes.
The Or" always appended to Mr.. Cobb's
name gave one the idea that he enjoyed
perpetual youth; but see, he is patriarchial
in appearance. He was thirty second de-

noted on the stage. In 1866 she sang in Theo-
dore Thomas symphony soirees, studying at
the same time with Signor Muzio. Four
years later she went abroad and studied two
years in Florence, and in 1871 returned to
New York, where she has since remained as
contralto at the Madison Square Presbyterian
church. She occasionally appeared in pub.
lie concerts, and, while her voice was not very
strong, it always pleased by its sweet and
sympathetic tone. Inprivate life Miss Henne
was very tenderly loved, and many mourn
her loss.

A WESTERN COURT HOUSE.
The New and Beautiful Home of the
Law at Columbus, ..

The New and Beautiful Home of the
Law at Columbus, ..
The new and beautiful court house at Co
lumbus, o., is something of an exception to
public buildings in general, in that it cost less
than the original estimate. 1t was voted to
erect building to cost not more than $500, ,000;
the structure was completed ready for occu-
pancy for $3.50, ,017.27. One can tell upon the
fingers of one hand the public buildings in
this country which cost less than the law
allowed-the custom house at Evansville,
Ind being a notable case; and if western con-
tractors and officials get into the habit of
doing that sort of thing there will arise brisk
eastern demand for their services.
This court house for Franklin county, o.
was recently formally opened by appropri-
ate services, taking place in the central.cor-
ridor. The body of the building is of gray
stone, with appropriate carvings in the proper
places, the columns fianking the doorways,
those supporting the roof of the main portico
above being of red granite. The main COR
ridor is open to the roof and lighted through
delicately stained glass; around it the stairs,
built of iron with woodwork in cherry, lead
by easy ascent to the upper story, and from
the court rooms on the second floor interior
stairs lead directly to the jury rooms and
rooms for witnesses. In the upper story are
large rooms for old documents, sufficient to
store all of them for many years Columbus
will now rank with the largest cities in the
elegance and convenience of its court house.

Moving Hospitals Sufficient Unto

Everything.
The French are getting ready for war.
They are organizing sanitary trains for the
removal and care of the wounded. Some of
their journals say these trains are an absolute
necessity, as the next war will show, in mov-
ing masses SO formidable that the mightiest
armies of the past would be as nothing COM
pared with them. What are we to infer from
that? A general wrangle all over Europe?
The Germans have very complete sani-
tary service. The Russians also have their
sanitary trains; and the Austrians, thanks to
the Chevaliers de Matte, are also admirably
provided in that respect But so far France
has only about dozen sanitary trains,
number quite insufficient, since it has been
demonstrated by the fact that out of an army
of $4,000 men one-fourth may be sick or
wounded. Improvised sanitary trains are al
ways defective in comfort. The minister of
